From Landsveit you have only short distances to many of Iceland's pearls of nature - such as the volcano Hekla, mountain Búrfell, Waterfall Þjófafoss, Waterfall Tröllkonuhlaup, the Highlands of Landmannalaugar and Hrauneyjar. Hekla's wealth of pumice is one of a kind. At Hellar, some caves were made by men around year 800. The Hekla Center (Heklusetur) at Leirubakki tells about the saga of Hekla and her eruptions throughout the centuries.

The closest town is Hella on road nr. 1, ca 45 km drive away. Hella lies on the shores of the river Ytri-Rangá with a population of ca 800 inhabitants. It offers all basic services such as a supermarket, gas station, restaurants, golf course, swimming pool and a health center.

What guests are saying

Anke & Markus from Germany
»The view of Hekla is amazing.«

Henk and Monique from the Netherlands
»We had a nice time in this house. The views were wonderful. Although the weather was not so good we saw the sun shine at 0:30-2:30. Every moment the view was different. Normally we love vacation in a tent. In this house with those views we feel as well as we did in our tent. This country is amazing.«

Hanna, Wenke, Björn, Kai-Uwe and Katrin from Germany
»It was a beautiful place to stay. From here we have made many excursions. We looked at Geysir, Strokkur, Þingvellir and went swimming in Landmannalaugar. The beds were very comfortable when we had a good night's sleep after a long day. Hekla was very gracious to us. We were able to admire her for a whole day from early in the morning until late at night. We turned on the fireplace almost every day and went to the sauna.«
